Well, since 9 of the top 15 are SEC schools, it's really not "funny" at all.

Didn't realize how challenging Bama's schedule was, but road games against Wisconsin, Tenn, LSU and Oklahoma and home against UGA and Mizzou, fresh off their mauling of Ohio St, they will be NO pushover.

That's a pretty daunting schedule for a first year coach who lost a ton of talent. Could the Tide lose....GASP.....3 or MORE games this season? Talk about getting on the hot seat with that spoiled fanbase early! KD better gird his loins.

Daboer will have a very rough first season at Bama for various reasons imo.

Wait. Does this work? If so.. then we are 8 of the 15 schedules too..



Georgia is only on 6 of them..

Oklahoma is only on 2 of them..

I don't think this theory works the way you want it to..

It is when you see that LSU isn’t listed as one of the more difficult schedules. Whatever criteria the authors are using doesn’t make any sense. The OOC is no slouch either with USC and UCLA.

I don't think we're ever not top 5 on lists like these.

Typical. Arkansas is used to having a top three toughest schedule for years now.

Yes. I've been telling the entire rant there's no way that Bama doesn't lose at least 3 or more games this year.

The rant told me I'm a moron though.

But let's be realistic, loaded roster or not, it takes time to implement your system and get all the players on the same page as a first year coach.

And to do it in this league against that schedule?

Alabama fans are about to be humble big time this year. They most likely will continue being a force the following years after that but NOT THIS YEAR.

Am hoping for a total collapse and for gumps to turn on him quickly though.

Our team is so good that our opponents have a tougher schedule than we do?

That sure shows us…
